Kim Kardashian in a slinky black gown at the UK Glamour event: lovely or tacky?

Here are some additional photos from last night’s Glamour UK’s Women of the Year Awards. Kim Kardashian was in attendance (as was Kristen Stewart – ha!), and our Kat-Face wore this slinky black number that I actually really like. I’m just talking about the dress, don’t look at the kat-face or how she styled herself. Just look at the dress! At first glance, I thought it was some kind of textured, patterned satin, but it’s black silk with a lace overlay. Can’t you see this gown on Diane Lane or Jennifer Aniston? Sofia Vergara? Any of those ladies would make this deceptively simple gown look really good. Not so much with Kim, mostly because of the way she styled herself. The earrings are too long, there’s too much bling (it’s overkill, which makes all of the jewelry look fake anyway), and her hair is pulled too tight.

Also in attendance at this show – Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. At first glance, I liked her rosy-nude Burberry Prorsum dress, but as I look at more closely… not so much. It would have been better in a real color. She’s still dressing like she’s a blonde – someone needs to tell her that brunettes can pull off brighter colors and jewel tones.

    I like the black dress too but think the fit is too tight from the waist down, which detracts (agree about the styling). The nude dress is very pretty in itself but doesn’t flatter her gorgeous figure. And maybe the color looked better in person, tricky to photograph?

    Does Rosie H-W. have a belly? She is VC model…
    I find the dress of Kim K very good, but
    it`s to tight for her + jewellery is definitely over the top.

  3. RocketMerry says:

    The dress Rosie is wearing is very unflattering in the tummy area. Maybe she was not wearing spanx…?

  4. Sandz says:

    LoL at Kim K and her eyebrow!! too much botox?

  5. Hautie says:

    I like Rosie’s dress. But it looks like it does not travel well. Too many wrinkles from sitting in the car.

    And bless her heart. As much as Kim tries. She ends up making a good dress look cheap. It is just too small.

    If you can see a perfect outline of your belly button, your dress is too small. It also reminds everyone that you also have no undergarments on.

    And it is just gross to wear a dress, that is probably on loan, with no panties.

  6. Quest says:

    Tsk, tsk …poor Kim – you must be careful when pulling your hair that tight. This is not a good combination with a botoxed face.

    The dress is not so bad but too tight for her frame

  7. Micki says:

    I like both dresses but not on them.

  8. yeppp says:

    kim looks the same no matter what she wears her look never changes she bores me **yawn**

  9. Hollowdoll says:

    All I see is Mortisha Adams/Elvira.

  10. tango says:

    Kims dress is too tight. And the fake eye lashes. And one arched eyebrow. Such a pretty woman at one time now is a hot mess. Eeek.

  11. Jezi says:

    The dress on Kim would’ve looked great had she not overdone the jewelry. I was watching some old make up tutorials from back in 2009 from Kim K. and she was gorgeous. She had her new face but it wasn’t so cat like just yet. It upsets me every time I see her, she should’ve just left her natural features.

  12. T. Redd says:

    For ONCE, KK looks incredible. Earrings bordering on Brothel, but the classy Morticia-Like dress makes up for it. Someone else must be dressing her.

  13. MJ says:

    Never been a fan of KK, but she used to be an otherworldly natural beauty back when she was getting peed on. Now she just looks ten years older than she is… and like anyone else who’s bought their face in HWood.

    That eyebrow is cracking me up.

  14. Toe says:

    She looks awesome in the dress. I dont think it’s too tight. It’s just perfect

  15. V says:

    I think the dress makes Kim look kinda fat.. seeing that pic made me feel better. Not that kim is fat, but it’s seem to clingy in the stomach area. The dress would like amazing on Angelina Jolie too!

  16. chicana says:

    Sofia Vergara would have pulled of the look of the dress really well. But as usual Kim was wearing it way to tight, she over accessorized, and she put 1lb to many of makeup on her face. Rosie’s dress isnt my cup of tea

  17. Amanda G says:

    What is up with the “one eyebrow arch” pose?

  18. Kim says:

    Rosies dress does not fit her corrrectly hence the bunching at the waist and the color does nothing for her. She is obviously trying to be Angelina in that style/color and Angelina shs is not.

    Kim – it goes w out saying is tacky as always.

  19. Kim says:

    Kim has wonk eyebrow – result of to high an eye lift. She looks like wax paper.

  20. Mary says:

    Dictionary:
    Kardashian:
    Who goes to the opening of a Clam.

    kIM: failed ‘Salma Hayek’ imitation

    Transformer chick: terrible long neck, low-shoulder, pot belly look.

    fin :mrgreen:

  22. Isa says:

    Maybe it’s because I can see Kim’s belly button but I was reminded of the black dress Heidi Klum wore when she was 11 months pregnant. Heidi did it better. Kim’s is too tight.

  23. Charlotte says:

    I like the black dress! It’s gorgeous. As for Rosie, I hate the entire look. She looks like a giraffe.
